Could you use sidewalls through the 56ft long side penetrating into the cavity, running the pipe in the accessible space?

They measure 1'-0" wide, 1'-6" high and about 56 ft long. They are open on one end to a larger attic space. The only space that it can be fed from is the open area. Neither the contractor nor I can figure out how to get into the space and work pipe and hangers. Opening the space up along the 56 ft length is not practical and running pipe 1'-0" off the floor in finished spaces in not allowed. Any thoughts? Todd G.
